EDITORS NOTE—This is the first of a series of articles to be publish- each week in the interest of G. M. C. and the enlargement program under consideration. The period of economic stress, which our Community in company with the rest of the Nation has been suffering since the winter of 1929. and from which under the wise and sympathetic leadership of President Roosevelt it is gradually emerging, has caused thoughtful civic leaders to stop and to take a serious inven tory o» the Community’s assets and liabilities. To offset the liabilities and to pro tect against their recurrence it is pbfolutely necessary either to en large on current assets or to pro vide means to increase them or both. Milledgevllle has been and is singularly blessed in this that its as sets. from the community angle, are visible, patent, evident There is no need to put forth an effort to per suade our people of their existence, the evidence is before their eyes. The cry in other cities has been for industries, smoke-stacks so to speak but with us of Milledgevllle there has been no need to provoke such a cry. We are all conscious of the fact that we have already existent ithin the community institutions old files of Milledgevllle newspaper* and in the issue of the Southern Recorder, Jan. 9, 1844, was the fol lowing story: 'Great Longevity—Died In this ,* on TTiursday 28th, ult.

Emerson up to date: If ; produce better claptrap, thi will beat a path to your door. careful where theyj w hose potential development will b~ a PH commensurate with a normal growth. Note it is said. “POTENTIAL DE- — j VELOPMFNT." Something must be think you can make | ^ onf . by the citizens at large to make somebody moves that development possible. But what? G. M. C. offers a classic case. Here is. indeed, an asset, on institution that serves not only as a Public High School, thus lessening the tax burdens of the average citizen, but . serving also the purposes that world i prompt other cities to seek new in- es. Under the inspiring guid- of Col. Jenkins G. M. Man-iagc is a funny thing. The ■eremony is of the least importance. >ut more fuss is made about it. An expression -'f appreciation is more satisfying than a sack of gold, if you already have a sack of gold. Some folks object to following the footsteps of others, because they want to make bigger footsteps them selves. Being a college president is easy All he has to do is to please the board of trustees, the parents, the undergraduates and the alumni. A critic asserts that no notable American fiction has been written lately. But just wait until next year’s campaign gets going. A few minutes of investigation before making caustic criticisms will stop many people from saying harsh things about others. Governor Talmadge is a Const'.tu- tion-saver when it comes to the government, but when it comes to Georgia he is a Constitution-wreck er of the class A type. made most manifest this year its potential development. The question now before the city Is whether or not it will go along with G. M. C. and realize on the promise that this year’s enrollment gives. There Is no time to delay over the decision. De lay might prove fatal and result in a static condition that can mean but one thing. RETROCESSION. W< must go forward, our Community*: best interest demands it. Repula- tion growth will come and our as sets. so that we might profit by the lesson of the Depression, must grow accordingly. But how? G. M. points the way. The Federal Gov ernment. as the result of the sympa thetic leadership of Mr. Roosevelt, offers the solution to any problem that might develop. All that remains then is the necessity for a Com munity effort, a determined getting- together by our people, with a will ingness to sacrifice a little now that great profit might result later. For ward Milledgeville! The aged and helplesr. are of lit tle use to Governor Talmadge ir his ambition to be dictator, conse quently there Is little hope for Georgia to share in the social i curity and old age pension funds long as Talmadge is in charge of things in this state. Georgians especially have watch ed with interest news from the bed side of Senator J. Ham Lewis, who is ill in Moacow. Senator Lewis is a southern gentleman of the old school and spent many years in Georgia. His carreer has been a brilliant one and we doubt if there is a man ir America who can match wits with him in debate.

Fanny’s mother visited at the Creek Agency in 1808, when she died, aged 120.’’ Could any story be more interest- g? Jim was the servant of James Thomas of Va., who married Martha Walker, bom 1747 in Goodland County Va. They come to Georgia, first to Columbia County, and then Hancock. They are the grand parents of Mrs. D. W. Brannen and Elizabeth and Mattie Thomas. Martha Thomas died at old Midway Milledgeville in 1856. at the age of 109 y'ars. James Thomas and Gen.

B DATE OF SALE BY PRODUCERS OF COTTON EXPLAINED For the purpose of determining payments under the 1935 cotton price adjustment payment plan, the date of sale of cotton means the >n which the price to be paid the producer for his cotton by the purchaser is mutually agreed upon, the Agricultural Adjustment Ad ministration has announced. The adjustment payment plan is designed, insofar as possible, bring an average of a 12 cent re turn to producers on the" 1935 cotton crop by payments to producers the 1935 cotton crop by payments to producers based on the differ- between the daily average price paid for middling seven-eights 31. However, carrying charges, which include interest, storage, and insur- t will be deducted from the payment and paid to the lending agency. Cotton producers should bargain with buyers for the prem iums due them on cotton which is above the average in grade and staple length, it was reiterated. Producers will lose money due them officials stated, if they sell premium cotton for the price paid for middling seven-rights inch cot ton In the belief the price adjust merit payments will compensate them for their better grade and staple length. NOTES FROM THE FARM AGENT Basic Slag Bought L. R. Langley, County Agent, an nounces that fourteen farmers and twenty 4-H Club Boys have bought ir of Basic Slag cooperatively. These farmers are using this fertili- under legumes. Winter Peas, Vetches, Clovers etc., that ing planted. By buying cooperative saving of $35.00 was made possible on the car. Winter Legumes Purchased Farmers of Baldwin County have already bought 4700 lbs. of winter peas, 1320 lbs. of vetch, and 740 lbs. Crimson clover for October seed-1 ing. Baldwin farmers are aware of j the fact that through winter, le gumes cheap fertilizer can be pur-1 chased. All farmers should grow | these crops during the winter months. They will lessen soil ero sion and supply nitrogen at the same Many Farmer* to Plant Wheat Mam- farmers grew wheat last season for home consumption and j more arc preoaring to plant wheat this fall. With reduced acres in cash crops, and a marked increase in the price of flour, it is the only wise thing for farmers to do. County Agent Langley advises all '.‘armors to plant some wheat He says "Every farmer should secure good wheat seed and plant some acreage to this crop.” He believes that it Is as important for the fanner to grow bread as It is for him to raise meat Wheat is a poor cash crop in this section, but it is a prac tical crop to grow for home use. ■ear Oats New Now is the time to sow oats. Many farmers lose one-half of a crop every year by planting late. All Southern Experiment Stations tell us that October seeded oats give double the yield of November seed ed oats. Why farmers do not make every effort to seed all grains on time is not known.

The low cost of Diesel opera tion has caused every power user to become interested in Diesels. They are rapidly supplanting steam and gasoline in every field of power. In many of the big. manufactur ing plants the pay for skilled me chanics runs as high as one dol lar per hour. Installation, service and research engineers command still higher wages. We will talk personally to men who wish to qualify for positions in this field and make it their life work. Write Schoeck Diesel Training Division, stating age and past employment.

Sparta, Sandersville, and other nearby communities. KEROSENE IS SNAKE BITE CURE Mr. J. L. Worsham, Baldwin farmer, says kerosene is a cure for snake bites. Recently four of his mules have been bitten by rattle snakes and have been cured with kerosene. Mr. Worsham savs he soaks the wound in kerosene for 15 to 20 minutes and the poison is drawn out and the spread is stopped. This cure is a sure one the farmer says and adKrises anyone who has an animal bitten by a snake to use the treatment. Milledgeville will have a dis tinguished and honored guest on Thursday evening when Senator Robert M. Lafollctte speaks here. Senator Lafollctte is one of the out standing young leaders of the nation and his address will be of unusual interest. A large audience will greet him on the occasion of his address. > far i Governor Talmadge to make a slurring remark about the President’s physical infirmatie: and now he wants to be on the wel coming committee when the Presi dent comes to Georgia in Novem ber. Any true believer in southern hospitality cannot think of having the Governor take part in the wel come that will be accorded the president. The Governor is certainly ’ out waiting for strong- unschooled in what true hospitality from unions portends imposes. chiseler is the enemy not only of labor, but of an improved social order generally. He presses crown of thorns heavily and harshly against the brow of his worker in get a temporary advantage his competitor, and can sell his goods at a lower price. The competi tor must cut his labor likewise, and add infinitum. This is why it Is necessary for labor to organize, and make alLin a given industry re spect an established minimum wage. And this is why labor is driving so hard to protect Itself in all indus try. The textile people are now trying to see if they cannot get a universal agreement among employers, estab lish a selling agnecy plan, and turn discipline into the hands of the Fed eral Trade Commission. They realize that the commission could not be merely a punitive in stitution. always snooping around to see what they can find that is wrong: but it is hoped they can act as a business advisory group. The iden has not yet taken shape in a law. because nobody has sug gested how such a law could be written. The Supreme Court like the Sphinx. It is more feared and more highly respected right m than it has been at any time sir the New Deal was born. And it safe to say that the lawyers who v rush in precipitately with a law tc be passed would be irrational But the fact that industry is seek ing to put itself in position to keep its labor happy and contented with- measure* day for CAMPUS THEATRE SUNDAY Oct. 6th. m0> t 3 % JOHN BOLES JEAN MUIR CHARLES RUTTERWORTH SrRtfMRS fe* RAirt V. Ibn CHTSELERS The question of chiselers continues to remain In the forefront even though codes of fair competition have been abolished. The Macon Telegraph thus discusses the mat ter: The textile industry again rushed to the front with voluntary agree ments to preserve wages and hours as fixed under.the repudiated codes of NRA. but now the 85 per cent who entered into the agreements find that the fifteen per cent who refused or neglected to join them were playing havoc as competitors, and the industry is trying to find a way out of the difficulty. It is easy enough to pay good wages in any industry, if all en gaged in it will do likewise, but the America. —Juomal-Herald, Way- cross. Ga. I LADIES.
